After some less than pleasant experiences with singing teachers as a child, I came to Scot as a very nervous singer, and my time working with him has been absolutely transformational. There has never been any question as to whether I was a good singer, the assumption has always been that I am, and so I got on board with the idea and my confidence has grown immeasurably. I have loved that through learning with Scot, I have an understanding of the actual mechanics of my voice and what’s happening in there, and can produce sounds I could only dream of as a young musical theatre geek!

Seeing Scot for singing lessons was one of the best decisions of my life. Despite many years of involvement in musical theatre, I lacked musical confidence and never truly trusted my voice. As a result I hated auditions, and even worse, often felt I had kind of faked my way into the roles I got. Scot’s personal coaching helped me understand my voice and what I’m capable of. He taught me to not only make better use of my instrument, but to relax and enjoy myself in the process. And I know it will keep getting better the more I do it. Honestly, for me working with Scot has been a liberating, transformational, enriching experience that I know will continue.
I began lessons with Scot in 2016 and he has been a shining light in my musical endeavours thus far. I come from a classical background and through Scot’s teaching I’ve gained confidence in my vocal ability across different genres. His encouragement and vocal techniques will continue to influence my singing for many years to come. Most recently, I applied and was accepted into Victoria University for Jazz Performance, I credit this achievement to Scot. Scot has an admirable ability to adapt and understand my singing goals, with lessons constructed to suit. This assures me I’m building my repertoire on stable foundations, so by the time of refining a piece with Scot I feel as though the song has become second nature for me to sing. I’ve always found Scot to be a very inspiring teacher and his lessons having an invaluable impact - leaving me with the feeling of being fulfilled in my singing ability.
I first met Scot back in year 11 when I started the senior drama club at St Peter’s. His energy and passion during this lunch time club was contagious and I knew from that moment that I wanted to work with him more. I began singing lessons with Scot that same year and since then he has absolutely transformed my voice. Scot enabled me to hit notes that I could never imagine and sing songs that I didn’t think were possible. Not only has he transformed my voice but he has brought out a confidence in me that I didn’t think I had. Singing in front of people has always been terrifying to me but with Scot’s encouraging guidance I have been able to face my fears and perform to many in various recitals. Scot is an extremely talented performer and teacher who radiates positivity and genuine passion. Scot has lead me to pursue a career in the performing arts and I am forever grateful!
I started vocal lessons with Scot two years ago after a 10 year hiatus from any performing, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. I wanted to get involved in local musical theatre, but having never been a "singer", I wasnt sure how it would be possible as I had never used my singing voice, nor ever been encouraged to do so. Scot helped me to connect with myself, embrace my voice and fine tune it to be more than I ever expected. I never saw myself as a singer, but now I can thankful say, I can sing! I AM a singer, and I love my voice! I have now been able to attend and showcase my voice in auditions, theatre productions and as a solo singer in his vocal showcases. I never thought I would be able able to sing in front of others due to intense anxiety but I have done, and I will continue to do so under his amazing tution.
Really talented musician and a great vocal tutor! Very encouraging!
Wonderful. Scot is amazing and very professional in every way.
